Ouch! Tooth hurty! Extraction tomorrow!

Giant filling popped out at pandemic onset. Was stable since, with waterpick... Reckoning time is now, abscess and antibiotics..

And it's done. Took all of 5 minutes to remove a molar; wallet $500+ lighter. What a difference a top surgeon in the state makes! Last time around my wisdom tooth came loose but would not come out, and the dentist spent half an hour bashing it back and forth against my jaw until something broke...

I am still amazed. No swelling, no pain at all throughout the entire process, and the socket is closed 24 hours after. After a lifetime of mostly bad dentistry, I finally lucked out!
